You would have to be pretty dirty to think washing there would leave you clean.

I've had a few like that. One the kitchen was so greasy that I put disposable coveralls on to work and chucked them in the customers dustbin when I left. Job was supposed to be a two day job but I got it done in a day so i wouldn't have to go back. Another the bathroom floor was covered in dried cat poos. On with the disposables and swept it into a pile in the corner. Used the cardboard from the boiler to kneel down on.

The only items I would need for that kind of job are a can of petrol some matches and a fast van.
Perhaps I should list it as a cleansing by fire service.

No relation to the final solution. Thats a couple of hundred steos too far right.

What's wrong with that, its a double wammy trap, a manufacturer couldn't make one like that if they tried

That will teach him, always take a iPhone and take a photo before and then you can put it all back they way it was, basics, even a decorator would know that.

Cylinder change I did today.
The electrics had been bodged together and the 15mm vent pipe terminated above the tank lid so there was a lovely puddle on top of the tank.
What about the roof truss!!!! or lack of, I hope you lads don't do this if the tank won't fit, Jeez

Yeh on would have thought for safety - they would have extended them to rest on the tank and support the roof 😱
lots of new builds are like that as all the trusses come in identical easier to remove onsite than order special trusses
Surprised he didn't cut a hole in the tank lid to let the water drain back! :rolleyes2:
Either side of the tank there is 2 bits of 2x4 bolted top and bottom so there is plenty of support.

Shocking!
the nuts for those terminals will be behind the cylinder ,not that i would ever do that after loosing the nuts

Custard wanted me to change kitchen mixer. I said sure but only if I can change the rest of the pipe work too. Flexi hoses joined to flexi hoses! Magic. Custard declined re piping.

I would have said the same paul I think! no chance I would put my name to that you can more or less guarantee once you disturb the tap tails it will be like Niagara falls
Exactly when if your flue is leaking condensate is it ok to refix the flue clamp with silicone?
Maybe its around the same time your fitting placky pipe direct to an unvented cylinder.
Also It is a good thing you dont have to spend money on broken tundishes any more just pop a small funnel in the open end of d2.
Got to love rental property and their "maintenance men".

5 burner. Massive house I mean massive. Upstairs hallway was almost size of my living room. 20m long and 5m wide! His house was heated by 2 33kw COMBI boilers feeding six huge bathrooms. Bath shower sink and bidet in every one ...... 25mm mains. It was done by same pro who linked both boilers together with hep!

Don`t think it was ID. Found it in a shop and was told a local plumber did the whole job which included solvent weld pipe joints without the solvent weld cement.
To go along with the double NRV set up I found you mean?
One is the built in sani NRV & the other was a 32mm McAlpine futher up the run. lol
Hiya Tom, It`s easy just repeat after me.....
No problem mate I`ve done 100`s of these.

Riley,
Why not the water in the cistern is much higher than the connection of the sani-flow, I know you can't polish a turd but it will dissolve, be OK until
something big got in there and then go look for a plumber with a website who specialises in this sort of thingy!!!!
According to the customer it`s worked perfectly for 1yr 11.75 months then packed up just inside the 2yr warranty. You can imagine my reply.
The only fact I`m interested in whilst the van is on double yellows outside the shop is ...........
Not installed to Saniflo guidelines, refer to installer. lol

The boiler took the full brunt of the fire tightness test fine boiler ran and passed fga no problems at all I was a bit worried about the flue so recommend a replacement they said just change the boiler
Love the flush handle, looks like it's a double flusher with a handle missing.

All of the showers leaked when it was pressurised! The tray was amazing upstairs this was the sauna room.

At least they have made it easy for you to get 15mm in there when you re-pipe.

Yes the ufh is off the unvented ...... Yes it's powered by a 12kw RI. No there isn't any blending on the UFH. No it don't work. Yes the installer was qualified. No he didn't have a clue. Yes I'm charging £75 p/h to a colleague to fix it. Yes I'm getting money up front. Yes it's hilarious and I can't help but laugh.

Qualified in what ???? it defo isn't plumbing (Water Regs or unvented), heating, electrical, lagging, even the woodworking skills aren't great it looks like they even ripped up the bit of flooring right next to the cylinder to use as the back board, you can see the screw holes along the edge of the T&G.
Some have absolutely no shame or then again perhaps they thought it was a good job.

Wow... Just, wow!!!
Still, should be a good earner putting it right... I take it the subbie is no longer a subbie for you?

not as stupid as it looks more reliable than cysten mates and less install cost then ir detectors some where that only gets used a couple of times a week its a great simple way done the same in a storage place and a church annexe
Just what I was thinking steve, and just incase any of you others were wondering if it is legal under the Water Reg's (cos I know how conceded & worried you lot get about such matters) it's fine. :hurray:
